The ZL1 didn't beat the GT500.....it ****ing destroyed it. OMG! Over 2.5 seconds! I didn't see the Boss 302 time, but the fact that the 1LE beat the LS version that wears R compound tires is damn impressive.

The 1LE recorded a 3:01.5 (2013) lap around VIR and the 2012 Lightning Lap competition recorded the Boss Laguna Seca edition at 3:02.8 on the same track. A 1.3 second faster lap time is a pretty big margin.

So did they not test the cars at the same time or are we comparing lap times from different years? Because even with the same cars, those guys' times vary year to year by quite a bit.

The ZL1 and '13 GT 500 were apparently the same day, the 1LE and Boss comparison is different years (2012/2013) which could have an effect but thats how Car and Driver compares them over time. Their 2006-2012 records are on the link below, but the 2013 times have not been added.

Yes! The 1LE beat an old Boss LS time by 1.3 seconds. Maybe the 1LE will finally grab some more well deserved attention. Very impressive time by the ZL1 as well. Still would like to see a same day track showdown between the Boss LS and the 1LE.
